Extract Even Bits Only from 32-bit Register

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

uint32_t extract_even_bits(uint32_t reg) 
{
    // Your code here
    uint16_t res = 0, counter = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i < 32; i += 2)
    {
        if((reg >> i) & 1)
        {
            res |= (1 << counter);
            
        }
        counter++;
    }
    return res;
    
}

int main() {
    uint32_t reg;
    scanf("%u", &reg);
    printf("%u", extract_even_bits(reg));
    return 0;
}
